All 5 year degrees and above or 4 year degrees from UI, OAU, FUTA and Unilag can do level 1 also.

Also note this is not applicable to all assessing bodies.

In your husband's case, not sure how that will turn out cos it's not a 5 year degree but he can try by providing letter of explanation on the Direct entry qualification and also provide transcript of his initial qualification.

EA is Engineers Australia

@tunlex01 pls can you send me a mail on toayojj@gmail.com? I need to confirm somethings.

Merci

Kampack:


Congrats!

Just two quick questions please.

1. Did you send all (including undergrad) transcripts to VETASSESS initially, and ensured all transcripts were received by VETASSESS, before applying online or did you scan your transcripts and uploaded in your online application?

2. Is undergrad transcript compulsory even when one has postgrads (e.g MSc/PhD)?

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

Hello Kampack

I have both ND & BSc - sent both transcripts. Communicated with VETASSESS till they confirmed receipt before proceeding with the application. I already had all the necessary documents ready for upload.

Once, they confirmed receipt of the first transcript (ND), I uploaded all docs and waited for the confirmation of my second transcript before paying and submitting the application.

Then, a higher degree (MSc/MBA/Phd) would be relevant, if it won't adversely affect the number of relevant work experience you want to claim. Where the experience would be affected, it's better to stick to your BSc and claim your experience from after your BSc (where relevant).

For you to assess for skill 1 occupation, your degree must either be a 5 year course or obtained from Unilag, FutMina or UI
Any thing short of this will lead to a negative outcome.

FUTA, Uni of Ibadan, OAU or UniLag

Good evening and congratulations on your positive assessment. Please how did you make your payment.

Many thanks.

A family friend made the payment for me over there. I transferred the Naira Equivalent of the AUD and payment was made via my VETASSESS application profile with his bank card or so.

FreshBoss007:
with the pandemic, it seems vetassess and the Australian PR is temporarily on hold?

Just asking

Just to encourage us all on this journey. I assessed with VETASSESS for Valuer.

I applied for priority process,
paid on 11th of September 2020
got receipt on 14th Septemeber 2020
got a mail from VETASSESS approving that I was eligible for priority process 16th September 2020
got my positive outcome letter on 19th September 2020 (date on the letter was even 17th September 2020).

I claimed 11 years plus (including NYSC) work experience, but got 9 years as positive. NYSC wasn't considered and 1 year from my experience (1st employment) was used to calculate the qualifying period required to meet the skill level of the nominated or closely related ANZCO occupation.

meaning, if all is in order, the assessment process is done speedily. I was actually looking forward to September 30th, 2020 (considering the 10 business days timeline for priority process) for the outcome letter and it happened in 4days.

I wish us all the best in the process!

FreshBoss007:


By freelance, I worked with other persons within that time frame but if self employment would increase my chances, then better

Asking for a remark seems dicey, cause it could reduce my scores since I assume they would be more strict but I'm 29 years at the moment, so I assume age would supplement that deficit

Okay then. But to correct you, if you ask for a remark, your scores either remains unchanged or increases (if it changes) and you even get a refund if your score changes. Also, they only focus on the aspect you request for a remark.

Our Nigerian University system has really done a lot of damage to our rights and mindset! In this process, one thing I developed is - asking a lot of questions [even from my assessing body on their preference(s)], so that I don't keep assuming.

that being said, all the best in your pursuit.

FreshBoss007:

Hello FreshBoss007

Your profile is quite interesting. Is there no way to restate your freelance into self employment? then for your IELTS, when did you sit for the test? it would have been lovely to remark the writing to be able to claim the entire 20points!

Please can someone help with directions on how to get my tax clearance for vetassess.
I work with a private firm in PH nd my tax is deducted every month.
I know my company remits and gets clearance certificate every year as a company but I'm confused on how to get my personal tax clearance.
Anyone who has scaled this should please help

Ask the HR/Tax/Finance Unit (which ever unit deals with tax issues/payroll) of your company to write a tax clearance letter for you (to whom it may concern), stating your gross and PAYE for the last three years (i.e. 2019, 2018, 2017), as 2020 can't be ready. Then, if you have a relationship with someone in the unit issuing the letter, they may provide sample PAYE receipts for these periods, evidencing remittance by the company on employees' behalf.

The period above, is the exact content that would be in the TCC that the Rivers State Internal Revenue Service (or any State's tax authorities) would issue to you. This is faster to get. From experience, this is the type of letter we give staff members who are desperate to get a tax clearance before the State Government eventually gives one - if they ever.

To request for your TCC from the tax authorities as an individual, you would be required to come through your employer - this may take forever, unless you will volunteer to follow up after the application for TCC is made by your company and I'm sure you know what this means. You may be required to part with something for a process that should be free and should not take more than 2weeks (as stated in the PITAM/PAYE regulations). Unfortunately, we are a unique country!

Good day nairalanders.

My international passport will be expiring on 1st of December this year and I would like to know when I can put in application for a new one because I will be needing the passport by December ending.

If the rules haven't changed, your passport needs to be less than 6months to expiry before you can renew - meaning, you may begin your renewal process. However, it is not really a long process anymore, if you have an immigration personnel monitoring it for you on the inside (all can be done in one week - From Capturing to Issuance).

Also, you must have your NIN readily available, as it is a dire requirement for the issuance of an international passport for all Nigerians (including children - Babies/Toddlers and all).

I hope this helps!

Many thanks for your response.

Much appreciated.

I may be wrong now, but the last time I checked their website they will accept scanned copy of transcript sent directly from your school official
Email address because of the pandemic. What I dont know is how that will influence priority processing

Also, you can lodge your application as soon as you upload all required documents. In my case, my school doesn't release transcripts to students so I attached the request letter as my transcript. I didn't even wait for my school to dispatch before I submit my application. If you have a student copy, use it.

You'll get Ref number when you submit the application. That's what you'll give to your school.

No knowledge about your self-employment question.

Good morning House

very insightful contributions. However, the question below wasn't responded to and in addition........at what point are you supposed to lodge an application?

- is it when you have successfully tracked your transcript to VETASSESS?
- or you can lodge, when you are sure your sch has dispatched?
Besides, is there anything like assessment ref number - we are to provide the sch dispatching the transcript/award certificate, apart from the courier address?

Like - how are they supposed to link the transcript to you?

NIGERIA
A verified copy of the award certificate and full academic transcript must be sent in a sealed envelope from the awarding body directly to VETASSESS.

For Priority Processing, the verified documentation must have reached VETASSESS by registered courier mail at the time you lodge your application.

I'm asking because I consider using priority process.

Also, for those who had/have self employment, as part of their documents, which documents are you to Notarize along with your declaration statement?

Thanks in anticipation of your response(s) and/or guide.

ihongba:


Good morning,

Please when you are submitting your documents for assessment to vetassess did you upload your transcripts on their application websites or its just your school that will send the transcript to them.
